Leptin prediction of weight gain in newborns is not improved by adding multiple adipokines into the model.

CONCLUSION: Adding adiponectin, IL-6, MCP-1, resistin, PAI-1, TNF-α to the prediction model of weight gain in healthy newborns was not useful. Also, it is probable that their relative contribution to weight gain is not important. Only leptin was relevant as a predictor of weight gain at the 3-month endpoint.
